Police released this image of the man who was caught on a neighbour's CCTV camera as he walked along Mount Road in Penn at around 4.40pm on Monday.

Detective Sergeant Nicki Addison said: "Thankfully a burglary was not committed because the thief ran away after being shouted at by the occupier from an upstairs window.

"But we clearly need to find the person responsible as they are still out there and could be attempting to commit other offences.

"If anyone recognises the man in the images I would urge them to get in touch as soon as possible."

Call Wolverhampton police on 101.
